Meanwhile, GoNintendo had an interetsing snippet from a Nintendo spokesperson, which suggests “3DSware” is not a Thing.

Downloadable apps and games for the 3DS do not yet have an official name, and the representative isn’t certain the 3DS will follow the Wii and DSi trend of tacking “ware” on the end of the console name.

Well, it doesn’t roll off the tongue, does it – and Nintendo would do well to distance the 3DS’s digital distribution from its self-confessed failure on both older consoles.
